Another Uchiha….?
A/N: A few days ago I readed this story called Uchiha or Snape….I was so fascinated by it that I couldn't help but start to imagine things more so seeing the story abandoned. So I got all the courage I had together (I also asked a little from my bro's) and asked if I could possibly make my own story being based and/or inspired by this one….the author hasn't answered back yet and I did really try to wait until he/she (not sure) did, but failed…. Author from Uchiha or Snape please don't ask me to delete this story! The basic plot comes from Snape or Uchiha I own nothing not even the basic plot so…..
Dedicated to: my readers, not that there are much.
Ninth Chapter: Aftermath (Seiya).
Once Seiya left the Manor he started to run: he had to go away from that place….He knew Sasuke was having problems keeping up with his speed, but that didn't slow him down. Sasuke knew the way to Kakashi's place. Seiya couldn't help but see his parents again and again in his head. He wanted to hate them, he wanted that so bad. Then why couldn't he?
When he reached Kakashi's place he waited for Sasuke before entering. Five minutes later came Sasuke totally out of breath. Seiya wasn't sure where he had lost Sasuke, but it didn't matter to him at that moment. He saw Sasuke look at him asking him many questions with his eyes, questions he couldn't answer….not jet. Not until he knew the answer to them. He was sure, by the way Sasuke looked at his eyes that with the sharingan activated his eyes looked different when he used occlumency. It didn't bother him that the rest might know something was off with him; he had every right to be off. He had survived years of hell only to be thrown into another one. The last one was completely different from the first one: it was an emotional hell. Too many emotions… too confusing to him….
Sasuke and he entered Kakashi's place together. When they entered the table was ready and food served. Kakashi and Naruto were waiting for them. Kakashi looked up at them and Seiya saw he was about to ask questions, he shook his head and Kakashi closed his mouth. Thank the gods that his friend knew when to keep to himself. They ate in relative silence: Naruto had tried to get him into small talk, but was ignored. It wasn't that Naruto hadn't been insistent: Sasuke started conversation with the blond. After finishing his lunch he left without saying a word. He needed time to think, to be alone.
As Seiya walked around the village he ignored the whispers and the looks he received. Total it wasn't something new to him. He sat down in a park he used to spend time at as a child. He found it difficult to process his thoughts and feelings. To him it was like someone mixed everything together so he was trying to separate everything.
First he needed to plan what needed to be done at the Manor: the garden he could fix with magic, unless he wanted to spend much time cleaning it. The house he would also clean with magic and the rest of the things… The final touches: reparations, painting, moving fortune and deciding what room will be used as what he could discuss with Sasuke. He had the feeling that the house would end very similar to the one he had been born in, but that didn't bother him….much.
He looked at the sky and at the clouds thinking about what to think about what had happened in the Manor with his parents when a memory came to him.
He had just ended training and was looking at the sky, relaxing a bit. He had ended training because he had decided so. He was happy that even if his parents where stern about his training and education, that they also where tolerant. They gave him time to play and read, like any other kid. He was out of breath and laid down to catch it. He was exhausted and the sky was looking so pretty….
He didn't know how long he had been lying there on the ground, in the shadow, staring at the sky looking at the clouds, when he heard the door open. The sky had gone from blue to orange, but that didn't matter he was home. He heard footsteps come close, but didn't bother to look up. There weren't many people that had access to the place he was and those who had could be trusted.
"Seiya!" He heard his father's voice call while the footsteps came closer.
"I'm here Father." He called back still looking at the sky, suddenly he saw his father's smiling face looking down at him. "You are home early." He commented casually, Fugaku chuckled.
"Yes, I am. May I ask you what you are doing here, hidden from view young man?" Asked his father in a fake stern voice.
"I'm co..cons…co…."The four years old boy couldn't get the pronunciation of the word right and he frowned at this his father grinned.
"Contemplating?" Asked Fugaku his eldest son amused.
"Yes that!" Said the boy happy that his father understood what he meant. Fugaku decided to lay down next to his son.
"Seiya I don't know why you bother using words you understand but can't get the pronunciation from. Most boys your age still have difficulties using complete complex senses and getting the verbs right." Fugaku explained his eldest.
"I'm not like them Father!" Protested the boy. "I'm different: I can write, read and do things they can't!" The boy informed his father as if the man didn't know it.
"I know Seiya I was just….." Fugaku reminded silent knowing that any intention to explain his son that he could behave his age would be fruitless. Instead he decided to ask his son something else. "What where you contemplating before I interrupted Seiya?"
"The sky and the clouds, they are so pretty." Answered Seiya and Fugaku smiled relieved, for all the power, intelligence and wisdom his son had: deep inside he was still just a boy.
"May I keep you company?" He asked. Fugaku Uchiha was very proud of his eldest son and loved to see him train and such, but there was one thing he loved more: being with his son when he was acting like just a boy….there weren't many times.
"Sure daddy! Look at that cloud it seems a Dragon!" Exclaimed Seiya excited and Fugaku felt delighted by his sons small slip, he could count and remember all the times he had been called daddy by Seiya and most of them where when the boy was ill or hurt or half asleep….
They spend the rest of the evening looking at the sky: they changed the cloud to constellations once night came and had dinner outside, just the two of them. Seiya fell asleep somewhere during a legend his father told him.
Seiya asked himself why he had to go away. Why he didn't have a change to grow up like everyone else. Why he had to hurry things up. He wondered where the man from his memory had gone to. He asked himself if his father was still that man. He had loved that man with all his heart and had him up on a pedestal, but the father he saw that morning had lost his pedestal. Seiya was sure now that no man belonged on a pedestal, they were all human and all made mistakes. The big problem was that he knew this but had never realized it until then. He had put his father with all the flaws he knew the man had on a pedestal and those flaws had belonged there to…
Seiya wanted to forgive his father, but something inside of him didn't allow him to do so. His father hadn't only abandoned him he had also failed his siblings, his clan. Wasn't his father the one to teach him that: first came family, second the clan, third the village and fourth their country?
Why had a man with such values failed them all? Desperate times, desperate measures… told a part of him, but he silenced that part fast. It was no excuse to ruin the lives of your sons. Even so Seiya wished that the man of his memory sat with him at that moment to tell him what to do. Did he also wish the man of that morning to be there? He wasn't sure.
One side of him wanted to forgive his father, but there was a part of him that yelled him to stay away from the man. Fugaku Uchiha was the one that caused all the pain in his live: he caused it without knowing and by domino effect, but he had done it. Every minute that passed Seiya became more confused thinking about his father…
Did he love the man? Did he hate him? Or was resent a better way to explain what he felt? Would he be able to forgive the man the pain he had caused? At him? Yes. At Itachi and Sasuke? He wasn't sure. Did he have any right to judge his father's decisions? Was it his place? Was he sure he could forgive the betrayal he felt? He had told Sasuke he loved his parents: was that true? Yes! Screamed one part of him... No don't it isn't save yelled another.
Seiya had been training hard, combating servile cousins and other clan members and winning. He also spends some time teaching Itachi how to control a simple ninjitsu better. He was working hard that day: he wanted his father to see he worked hard and became stronger every day. Seiya was excited there would be a new baby in the family soon and the healer had ordered his mother on bed rest. That was why Itachi was with him that day; it wasn't like he never took care of Itachi it was just that now he did more. Itachi was his younger sibling and it was his responsibility to take care of him. Suddenly when he was correcting Itachi's fingers he saw his father.
That was strange: his father never came home unless something happened. He saw his father wasn't alone; he was with an old man. The old man was dressed oddly and had a large beard and blue eyes. His father waved at him to come over and he felt as if someone had kicked him in his gut. He had a bad feeling about what was about to happen, but he smiled anyway as he walked over to his father and the stranger.
"Good Morning father, Sir." He said bowing to them and looked up at his father, who seemed in pain.
"Good morning son….may I talk with you privately?" Asked Fugaku feeling sick.
"Sure father let me go and explain Itachi…." Seiya was interrupted by his father.
"That won't be necessary." Fugaku's voice was harsh and Seiya was afraid to go against his fathers will so he nodded.
Seiya followed both men inside with a heavy heart and looked at his Ooni-chan before closing the door behind him. What he didn't know was that that would be the last time he looked at Itachi or that his father's heart was even heavier than his. Fugaku let them to his private office and closed the door behind Seiya who entered the last. Seiya looked at his father and broke his heart, Seiya's eyes showed he was afraid and Fugaku couldn't do anything to help his son.
Fugaku felt useless, his son was afraid really afraid for the first time in his live and he couldn't do anything to help Seiya. Fugaku sat at his desk and mentioned for his companions to take a seat: the man did but Seiya leaned against the wall looking at his father with accusing eyes. They stood there in silence until the stranger spoke.
"As much as I enjoy silence and peace I came here for something Fugaku and haven't my whole life for it." Said the stranger and it looked like Fugaku wanted to kill the man.
"Seiya come over here." Said his father and Seiya did. "Seiya this man is Albus Dumbledore….he came to….to…he came for you." Ended Fugaku in defeat, he wanied to fight but knew it was useless the elders and Hokage where at the man's side.
"Seiya Kazuo." Said Seiya to the man who nodded.
" Pleasure to meet you Seiya, we will be spending much time together." Said Dumbledore and Seiya didn't like the turn the day was taking. "I'm headmaster at Hogwarts; it is the British institution…"
"For wiches and wizards. They attend the school from 11 to 18 seven year and sit their OWLs and NEWTs, the last ones are by choice." Ended Seiya for the man getting nervouse.
"He likes books a lot." Said Fugaku to explain why Seiya knew what he did.
"Well that will do me a lot of good. There will be many things I won't have to explain him then…" Continued Dumbledore and everything went down road for Seiya since then in lesser than two hours he had abandoned his family feeling as if his father had betrayed him.
Seiya decided to leave Fugaku Uchiha and any memory associated with the man alone for the moment everything was too confusing to understand. He was also aware that Dumbledore to was responsible for the pain in his life: what person takes a child away from its family for the greater good? Pushing both men aside he started to think of someone else.
His mother: his sweet, gentle, loving mother. That woman that made breakfast for him and sat with him while he was ill, never asking anything in return. That woman that once upon a time could make him spill the beans with one look. The woman that had to count to 5 and every single one of his cousins would do what she had ordered, even the rebel ones….Yes. It was easier with her, maybe because she wasn't there when he was taken away. She wasn't the one that had betrayed him, but she hadn't contacted him either. Of course in their culture a wife stood behind the husband no matter what. Maybe it was because it was just easier to blame on person for all the bad and loves the rest...
He knew he could forgive her, in time. He needed time he needed to clear his head as she had said, but how? He had so many questions, but no one that could answer them. He wasn't sure if he could talk with Kakashi about this, but if he didn't with Kakashi with whom? Should he just leave the past behind and start anew? Should he leave Konoha? He signed this mess was way too big.
Seiya knew the history of his clan: the Uchiha where the descendants of the eldest son of the man that brought peace to the Ninja world. They inherited the man: eyes, power, chakra and spiritual power. But they were also known to have inherited the eldest sons hate; it was a curse that ran among the family….they could easier hate than love. The Seiju's where the descendants of the man's youngest son and both clans had always been in war until peace had been signed and Konoha founded: the country of fire…. Might it be the reason why Seiya couldn't forgive his Father if that was so could he ever? Seiya had always fought hard against the hate that his clan was known for, but now it seemed that he couldn't.
Seiya remembered his cousin Shisui; they had been close as kids. Shisui was the last family member he saw before abandoning the hidden countries. Shisui had been spying on them (Dumbledore, Fugaku and Seiya) and wanted to take his (Seiya's) place and leave the hidden countries, his argument was that any clan member could pay the depts. of another….Seiya told him to return home and made him promise to take care of Itachi. His cousin the one who wasn't afraid to go against the grant Fugaku for what he thought was right, the one that taught him to stand up for himself and have faith.
Shisui had been like a brother to him: the both of them had been as close as or closer than he had been with Kakashi. Shisui was the one that taught him that family was forever no matter what, they had been in contact the first two years he was away until it suddenly stopped. He wondered what had happened to his cousin, did he to die with the rest of the clan? Seiya wished he could talk with Shisui….he too did fight against the hate. Both of them had vowed to never start a war against the Seiju's.
They used to say that it didn't matter if they had to go against the clan they would always stay loyal to Konoha. He remembered the plans Kakshi, Shisui and himself made: they would all enter the military police and protect Konoha with their lives….What had happened to those plans? Those dreams...The dreams of three children that didn't knew what live was about to hand them. They had been robbed of them, by a man that thought that everything was alright if in the end the greater good won….
Seiya casted a tempus and saw it was time to make the extra pair of keys and go to Tsunade. He wondered what would happen if he didn't go, but already knew what would happen. He would have to go the next day. Once he had the extra pair of keys for Sasuke he walked toward the Hokage's office. It was better to be done with it for once and all.
A/N2: Please leave a review….(T^T) Ohhh and this is unbetaed and I am not a native English speaker so please have mercy. Seiya is struggling with himself. He has closed his mind off and is now some kind of prisoner of his own head until he lets the occlumance walls down. It's a good tactic when you are spying and need to hide info, but bad when you have very emotional problems because you won't find the way out. What do you think will happen now? Will he ever forgive Fugaku? Is it more difficult to him because he knew that no man belonged on a pedestal, but just realized it now? Who will be forgiven first: Fugaku or Mikoto? Will he even be able to do so? Stay here it will continue…
